Amputee soldier punks David Beckham
AH, pity professional footballers, living in their own bubble, with little or no understanding of the real world. They’re so gullible.
Witness David Beckham, who was tricked into thinking he had yanked off someone’s arm off at an England event yesterday. Fabio Capello’s squad was meeting the brave men and women of our armed forces, at their Colney training HQ, when a mischievous Marine decided to play a prank on Becks. Off the Post takes up the story:
Commando Ben McBean, who lost a leg and an arm in an explosion in Afghanistan, was listening to Becks tell him how he could not imagine life with one leg. The Marine told Beckham that you get used to it and held his hand out for a friendly handshake, only for Becks to be left holding the arm when the handshake was over as Ben screamed: “My arm! My arm!”
Ben said: “As he shook my hand I let it slip from the socket. He looked like he would faint.”
Impressed by how well the gag had gone, Ben later pulled the same trick on John Terry!
There was no news on whether any of England’s players also fell for the shoe polish-on-telescope trick.

Well I suppose we all are a bit immature in some ways,
I think this is just Commando Ben McBeans way of getting attention.
It’s the ooooh look at me syndrome. I am sure he will get over it.
More than likely when he is not showing everybody his battle scars he is at home licking his wound.
I am an amputee, but i think if I had some young fool trying to scare me with such a prank i would beat him up with his own arm.
I think David Beckham is quite a guy for not doing that.
This is a bit out of charactor for me as i work everyday to help amputees, but I think some jokes go too far, and are really not that funny.
What would be funny is sticking it back on for him with a gun stapler.

He can probably drive better than Ronaldo as well.

Even with one arm and one leg he’s still twice the man of any of our pampered, soft as shit footballers. Especially Ronaldo, the big car crashing jessie.
